Had to get the K&N intake to match Borla exhaust

So just got finished installing the K&N
intake and it was a fairly straight forward install. I think the only thing I needed the manual for was which size clamps went where. I’m sure I would have been fine with my guesstimates, but didn’t want to jack it up.

Like others have complained, this is one stock hose and clamp that is just a tad too big for one of the connections on the driver side
intake pipe. I’ll just get a better clamp and I’m sure it’ll be fine.

You can definitely hear it sucking in air around 2k-3k RPM. This goes perfectly with my Borla exhaust since it’s best sound is around this range.

For your information, SoCal Stinger, California banned loud exhausts. You're probably already aware of this, which is why many places will not ship exhaust parts to California (and it's a misdemeanor to install them), but just in case:

DAM that sounds good. I really can't wait to get the K&N setup. Exhaust I'm still waiting on. I like the sounds so far, but want to hold out a bit. I know the sound I'm looking for is a little more towards the Nissan/Infiniti V6 sound.Plus I know that the actual sound of an exhaust is always different in person than on video.

Nothing will come close to the aural nirvana that is a 2JZ single turbo at full song, but we can get somewhat close. LOL

So far so good with the wife. She enjoys the sound of the car and doesn’t have any issues with it. She isn’t a car person or ever been into sports cars until we got the Stinger. I figured if she doesn’t think it’s too loud, most won’t either. She absolutely hates my exhaust on the Cobra (basically straight piped).

The
intake sounds great when getting on it moderately between 2-3k RPM. You get some really good spooling that’s very audible inside and out. If you mash it between 2-3k RPM, you won’t hear much spooling because the motor just fires right through that RPM range.
